A few days ago, I posted an awesome Loki figure from The Avengers made by Hot Toys. It was the first "Geek Gifts" article in a long time and I mentioned that the response to the post would determine if we'd continue the column. Let's just say it was a success. So, as promised, it's time for another "Geek Gifts" article and this one is especially relevant for those that like cool t-shirts.
If you've ever seen my video interviews, you know I love wearing t-shirts. I especially love wearing shirts that are inspired by my favorite movies and TV shows. Recently, a friend turned me onto a company called RedBubble, and they let their users submit their own designs and some of them are pretty great. Since I know a lot of you don't have the time to go through the thousands of reader submissions, I've done the legwork for you. So hit the jump if you like Studio Ghibli, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Tron, the original Superman, Battle of the Planets, The Lion King, and more.
Before going any further, I've left out what I really love about RedBubble: they let you pick the color and style of your shirt. Everything is up to you. You choose between 21 different colors and they have every size (small to 3XL) and style (normal t-shirts, v-necks, long sleeve, girly fitted, and hoodie's). Keep in mind they use American Apparel shirts so they run a bit small.
Regarding price, they're determined by the shirts creator, but they typically run around $25. I've bought a number of the shirts you see below, and I've been extremely happy with the quality and how fast they were delivered.
Anyway, enough of my rambling endorsement, here are the shirts with links so you can buy them. But if you have the time, I definitely recommend hitting the front page and going through more of the submissions, because they have a lot more than what I'm posting below.
Finally, if you find something that you think would be a perfect "Geek Gift," please email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and let me know!

| 15.7°C Belfast
A Government minister is urging car passengers to speak up to prevent drunken drivers from taking the wheel.
The comments from Transport Minister Robert Goodwill follow a survey showing a quarter of those who had been in a car with an over-the-limit driver had been too embarrassed to act.
Part of the THINK! Easter drink-drive campaign launched today, the survey showed that a number of people misjudge the effects of driving after drinking.
A third thought it was safe to drive if they waited a few hours after their last alcoholic drink, while t wo thirds said they would not be concerned about someone who drove after drinking with a meal.
Mr Goodwill said: "Everyone knows that drinking and driving is not only against the law. It's extremely dangerous. It may well be the responsibility of drivers to ensure they don't do it, but passengers can also discourage drinking and driving by speaking out.
"Clearly the majority of passengers feel confident enough to say something, but it is worrying that a significant proportion feel too shy to pipe up."
He went on: "I would urge anyone who sees someone attempting to drive after drinking to speak out confidently, take away their keys and call them a taxi.
"You could be helping them avoid a heavy fine, a driving ban or even a prison sentence. You could even be saving their life and the lives of others."
The latest THINK! campaign, which will see a series of adverts broadcast on national and regional radio for eight weeks, also urges people to plan their route home in advance after the survey found that more than 30% or people would get in a car with someone over the limit if it were an emergency or if there was no other way of getting home.

Add New Topic Here
Books by Year Category
Right now we have books by decades Category:Books published in the 1980s, Category:Books published in the 1990s, etc. and they are getting up to 100 books in each. After 200, the category page starts to break them up. Do you think it's time to start a Category for each specific year (e.g Category:Books published in 1981)? Joe 20:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Yes, it would be better. How to link the year inside category:Books published in the XXXX's ?
- Just add it. I'll do a couple to show you.
Book Template
I created a "Book" template which will automatically put the categories in for you. Just use {{Book|1983}} when you put in the year. See Bertram on Sleight of Hand for an example.
- I updated the this template to also put the "Category:Books" along with the "Category:Books published in the year XXXX".
Alphabetical list of all books?
I really like the books organized by year, but should we also create an alphabetical listing of books by adding "[[Category:Books]]" to all books to make a master list in Category:Books? I wish I would have thought of this earlier. Joe P. 18:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- I created a template which would automatically include the "Category:Books" and put a navigation menu. Just put {{Books}} at the end of all pages that are books. Joe P. 11:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Not too be confused with {{book|1933}} which will put "Category:Book published in 1933" automatically on the page. Joe P. 18:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Main page name for a Biography
What should be the main page name for magicians that have stage names? Their real name or the stage name? For example Sigmund Neuberger or Great Lafayette.
Which should they show up in the Category:Biographies or should both show up? Jpecore 15:13, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
Brad, can you add the MediaWiki Cite Exentions?
Cite Extension Added! (Brad, 09/16/2008)
You can see directions for use on MediaWiki
Cite Extension now works!!!! MagicPedia has been upgraded. Thanks Brad! Joe 18:56, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
MagicPedia vs. Wikipedia
I just wanted to give my thoughts on the differences between MagicPedia and Wikipeida. I believe difference is in the audience. Magic articles in Wikipedia are articles by laymen for laymen whereas MagicPedia is by magicians for magicians. Jpecore 14:59, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
Editor/Organizer Needed
I am trying my best to add information and keep it organized, but I don't always understand the process of linking and organizing categories and sub-categories. It would be very helpful if someone more knowledgeable in wiki-speak than I am might act as a resource to answer questions about how to link or organize topics, or perhaps review additions from time to time and edit them. Right now, this project is small and simple but soon it will become very large and complex, and now is the time to organize the way it should grow. Spellbinder 12-15-07
- I'm pretty good with wiki. I also follow the "Recent Changes". If you need any help just let me know. You can always put something in the "discussion" page of the article you have in question or in my user talk page. I've been trying to use the wiki Help:Categories as much as possible, since they automatically create lists for you like Category:Biographies Jpecore 08:03, 22 December 2007 (EST)
I've been pushing for a stricter code for organization. (Particularly since I set up the wiki. It's my hope that this place and additions to the MagicPedia help section will point the way toward better organization. I guess I personally default to following style established by WikiPedia. Bradmagic 21:27 25 December 2007 (PST)
Compiled Biographies
It has come to attention that some biographies are being divided into multiple pages. For example, Paul Harris had a biography page and had two linked pages, Paul Harris Tricks and Paul Harris Books. Correct style should hold those minor pages into the overall Paul Harris biography page.
October 25, 2007: Issue discussed, resolved. Pages can be separate, but at least well interlinked. (bradmagic/10.23.2007)
Needed Pages, Needed Categories
It might also be notable that our Wiki has a built in Wanted Pages section as well as a Wanted Categories. These can be a good guide to where the Wiki can also move toward. (Bradmagic 10.25.2007)
Amazon.com template
Is anyone working on an Amazon.com template that will link to books by isbn number, but also use the genii id so that genii will get credit for the sale?
- Not a direct link (and it doesn't use genii id, but if you just put "ISBN" followed by the isbn-number then MagicPedia automatically create a link to a page for doing lookups. See Erdnase for example.
Upload KML files?
Is there anyway to modify the upload files tool to allow for us to upload KML (google maps) files? Jpecore 15:44, 20 December 2007 (EST)
Genii Forum topic?
Would it be useful to also have a Genii Forum top on WikiPedia to promote specific pages and to request help?
MediaWiki Software Updated to 1.14 (May 1, 2009)
We just updated the wiki software. There may be a few bugs here and there for the next few days. What's great about the update is a) it will fix some of the problems we've been having and b) better extensions! bradmagic 10:1-, 1 May 2009 (PST)

Reserva Científica Valle Nuevo
The gutted, sky-high road that leads south from Constanza to San José de Ocóa – considered by Dominicans as the worst of the country's many poor roads – offers an adventure, however hazardous, that you're not likely to forget soon. Do not attempt this unless you have an excellent 4WD and are an experienced mountain driver. Allow five hours and be sure to bring two spare tyres, winter clothing and emergency supplies. The road runs through a national forest reserve known as Reserva Científica Valle Nuevo, a steep alpine wilderness with views that extend across a large chunk of the Cordillera Central, and for much of the trip you'll be skirting the edge of a cliff far above the clouds; the park entrance is 4km south of Aguas Blancas. If you have time, make a stop at the turnoff for the small military fort at Alta Bandera, 30km south of Constanza, where you can get a glimpse of a concrete pyramid, La Pirámide, built in 1957 by Trujillo to mark the exact centre of the island. There are now basic camping facilities here.
Valle Nuevo also offers a terrific opportunity to relax in luxury amid remote mountain wilderness at Villa Pajón (t 412-5210, w www.villapajon.do; US$51–75), a set of lovely cabins built on the site of an old saw mill 4km south of the national park entrance (9km south of Aguas Blancas). Each cabin has its own fireplace, kitchen, bath, outdoor barbecue and multiple bedrooms. There is only electricity (solar-powered) in one of the larger cabins but kerosene lamps are provided. Given the remoteness, you should bring your own food with you – though you can arrange in advance to have someone cook and perform housekeeping. Outdoor activities abound, including unbelievable hiking andhorseriding into the surrounding mountains.

Miguel Gutierrez Names the Action
Text: Adam Whitney Nichols
The legendary performer, Ishmael Houston-Jones, holds court with the air of a crooked guru. He bids the audience to join hands for "a cleansing breath" and leads the other dancers (who sit with the audience) in a rousing chorus of chant and song: "Open your eyes, see the light, squeeze my hand." The audience happily abides.
It is the most meditative moment of Miguel Gutierrez's, And Lose the Name of the Action, his premier at BAM, which ran until December 8th. The incantation is the "open sesame" into his head: a sensitive moment that excites an audience suddenly immersed in performance. On the portal's other side is a psychedelic journey that is often enigmatic. This is to be expected. The title of the show is in the last line of Hamlet's famous soliloquy (hint: it begins with a question), and is a heavy mandate for a performance piece, even one based on improvisation. Gutierrez's performance explores the millisecond moments between thought and action and, most interestingly, when sublime thought becomes theoretical, monotonous, and banal.
Gutierrez became interested in the relationship between cognition and movement when his father suffered from "stroke-like neurological problems." He prefers theoretical approaches to brain function, whether in academia or movement. And Gutierrez employs performers ready for the monumental challenge. Michelle Boulé, especially, whose improvisation is bewitching and so effortless, her twists and jumps seem to manifest without a moment's thought. She is a revelatory signpost in Gutierrez's journey.
The performance runs on three screens around the stage. There, Paul Duncan (notably from Boardwalk Empire) waxes as Hamlet, often in repetition and contradiction. In these speeches the audience best understands Gutierrez's method. At one point, Duncan says, "I am speaking, I am here."
As the piece closes, the video begins to skip. Duncan no longer speaks, but is stuck in movement. This is the axiom of Gutierrez's spectacle of wonder: I am moving, I am here… The most complex thoughts are often lost, when said aloud.

You probably knew it was "holy-hell-crazy-pants-impossible fast," as Sam Smith puts it, reflecting on effortlessly chasing a pro driver in a '14 911 Turbo S. But did you know to fix the Porsche 918 Spyder, you have to break it in half?
Sam flew to Spain to try and take Porsche's latest supercar in, and it what he found was as impossibly fast as it was hard to explain. I mean, some of Porsche's engineers, absolutely brilliant guys with titles like Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften and completely fluent in English, couldn't even try to explain how parts of this car worked.
But it did work. Very, very well. As Sam puts it,
There was a Turbo S at the media drive. It was driven by Porsche test driver Timo Kluck, an affable dude with a driving resume a mile long. Each journalist got seven laps in the 918 playing chase to Kluck in the 911. And two laps in, almost all the journalists present had to lift to avoid running Kluck over.
You have to read both of Sam's takes on it, because if you thought the 918 Spyder was just a hybrid supercar, think again. Catch the first part here, and the second one here.

Ahead of his live Twitter Q&A with Tom Burke, Founding Director, E3G at 10am GMT, May 1, 2012, our CEO, Mark Kenber, writes for Earth Summit 2012 Blog on the Clean Revolution we need across the globe, and the leaders we must mobilize at the Rio+20 Earth Summit in June this year.
In order to reach the visionary ideal of a green economy, we'll need a Clean Revolution across the globe. At the Rio+20 Earth Summit in June this year, top-level politicians will be called upon to help catalyse the global transition to a green economy, alleviate poverty and create stable economic prosperity for all. Despite the huge advances made by the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) since its inception at the original Rio Earth Summit in 1992, it is clear that this transition needs to be quicker, ambitions greater, and actions stronger.
The Brundtland Report 'Our Common Future' (1987), the central document which informed the original summit, shaped the conceptual foundations for sustainable development, defining it as 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.' But in a world of ever-increasing demand for resources coupled with an urgent need to curb the environmental effects on our way of life, delivering this vision of sustainability will not be an easy task. By 2050 there will be 9 billion people competing for resources on this planet. The world's middle class will grow from less than 2 billion to 5 billion in the next 20 years. In this time, China will build another 'United States' in terms of homes and commercial buildings, and global electricity demand could double between 2009 and 2035 . Despite this insatiable rise in demand for global resources, by 2050 we will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 80% of today's levels to avoid dangerous climate change.
There couldn't be a more pivotal moment to achieve meaningful political commitments to sustainable development. It is imperative, however, that these commitments inspire swift and concerted action on the ground. In order to create a world where prosperity doesn't come at the expense of the environment, where sustainability and profitability go hand in hand, and where development is created on a long-term basis, we're going to need a transformation of our productive systems, and strong action from those in positions of power. In order to reach the visionary ideal of a green economy, we'll need a Clean Revolution across the globe.
The word 'Revolution' invokes images of radical transformation of the incumbent political, economic and social systems; an unprecedented and rapid process of change to the current way of life. Well perhaps that's what this is. But rather than revolutionaries taking to the streets, the Clean Revolution is already quietly underway in boardrooms and cabinet offices, where business leaders and politicians alike are harnessing unique opportunities to transform the way we produce and consume energy and natural resources.
The Clean Revolution is a swift and massive scaling-up of clean energy technologies and infrastructure. It will satisfy the increasing energy requirements of emerging economies which are determined to develop unhindered, while continuing to provide the high quality energy services the developed world has come to expect. Simultaneously, it will cut emissions in a way that protects our livelihoods, creates jobs and supports economic growth. The Clean Revolution is a process of change that will target the underbelly of our productive systems; an energy generation infrastructure which has been in place since the last 'revolution', the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century.
Whether in business strategy or government policy, the game-changing opportunities of clean growth are now being grasped. Compared to just 50% back in 2007, 81% of CEOs in 2011 stated that sustainability issues have been fully embedded into the strategy and operations of their company.
Examples of this can already be seen across the corporate landscape. Lighting currently accounts for 19% of global electricity consumption, so the development and instalment of energy efficient lighting could save 670 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Global lighting manufacturer, Philips, predicts that a full switch to LED lightingcould reduce energy consumption for lighting by 40% worldwide. Alongside huge cuts in emissions, the switch would save an estimated 130 billion Euros in running costs. Philips is leading this Clean Revolution by building partnerships around the world to find the most effective and economically viable diffusion methods.
Policymakers have also begun to see the opportunity for growth in low carbon markets. China has developed from non-player to world-leader in creating economic value from clean technology. Chinese investments of $912 billion in clean energy and environmental protection will create 10.6 million jobs, boost GDP by $1.3 trillion and drive an additional $220 billion in energy savings.
These examples of low carbon strategy bridge the traditional but false dichotomy between economic growth and environmental protectionism, showing that we have the technology available to us that can not only reduce the mal-effects of our production systems on the environment, but also save us money, create employment opportunities and generate growth.
However, case studies do not tell the whole story. The Clean Revolution must develop from a few standout incumbent market leaders and some marginal innovators, into a truly mainstream transformation. In order for any revolution to inspire this kind of universal transition, one driver above all others will determine its success. And that driver is leadership. The success of the Clean Revolution depends on strong, resolute and unified leadership that provides a positive and inspiring vision of tomorrow while answering the economic and political imperatives of today. For the transition to a truly global and universal green economy, it is essential that we encourage and foster this leadership. This is where the story of The Clean Revolution Campaign begins.
The Climate Group's Clean Revolution Campaign is a worldwide, three-year campaign targeting the people with the power to bring about a green economy on a global scale – in print, in the press, online and throughhigh-profile events and roundtable discussions. By bringing leaders together, we give them the forum to act and the confidence to inspire others. The Campaign will look to spread a narrative of transformational action, showcasing success stories of low carbon initiatives and policies. These success stories will drive others to support The Clean Revolution, and create successes of their own. It will prove to international decision makers that transformation is not only possible, but a reality. Through our in depth case studies we will demonstrate to the world why the Clean Revolution is the pathway to future prosperity.
Just ahead of the Rio+20 Earth Summit, between June 17-19, we will announce the start of the three-year Clean Revolution Campaign, founded upon a coalition of governmental bodies, businesses and global decision makers who support the declaration that the Clean Revolution is not only necessary, but viable and desirable. We will reveal a number of strategic partnerships, individual commitments and practical solutions, including cooperative support from the UNEP, the World Bank and other key partners. We will showcase success stories on the ground that are real, profitable and scalable; success stories that show low carbon transformation producing tangible results. We will announce a number of transformational actions, which will be the projects behind the campaign. We will praise leadership, highlight opportunity and do what we at The Climate Group have always done best: convene, inspire and empower the world's decision-makers to take action on the low carbon economy.
By bringing the world's leaders together and arming them with the right evidence, we give them the confidence to take brave decisions and to rally others, propelling a positive, inclusive, politically neutral vision of low carbon prosperity - accelerating the transition to a green economy.
We need to cut our emissions by 80% by 2050. But we need to do it in a way that protects our livelihoods, creates jobs and supports economic growth around the globe.
We need nothing short of a Clean Revolution.
And we need to start at the top.
In order to expand the Clean Revolution Campaign we will need all the support we can get. See how you can follow and share its inspirational story by visiting TheCleanRevolution.org, and by following @ClimateGroup on Twitter. Use the #CleanRevolution hashtag to ask Mark Kenber questions during is live Q&A with Tom Burke, Founding Director, E3G on the Clean Revolution 10am GMT, May 1, 2012.

Elizabeth Benger
Elizabeth Benger (June 15 1775 – January 9 1827) was an English biographer, novelist and poet.
All human archives in this truth accord,
That feeble man is Ruin's mighty lord;
States rise and fall as ages roll away,
But vice survives, the passions ne'er decay;
New tyrants start, where conquest once has been,
The drama constant, tho' transposed the scene.
Thus in these isles, where gazing with delight,
Columbus first repos'd his aching sight;
(Ere yet, his swan-white sails that beauteous land
Approached, the younger world of nature's hand;)
On the same sod, where (Rapine's helpless prey,)
The plumed Indian, pin'd his life away,
Enslav'd, degraded, doom'd to vile employ,
Deploring still the rifled hive of joy,
There the poor Negro, shackled with the chain,
Rears, by his sweltering toil, the nectar'd cane;
And, wretched exile from his brighter skies,
Breathes o'er the native's grave complaining sighs,
Unconscious on what dust he treads, nor knows
Whose place he takes, whose heritage of woes.
But not like him, the captive Indian pin'd,
Some gentler feelings sooth'd his simple mind;
Still might the patriarch to his children trace
His ancient home – his desolated place, –
And to familiar brethren still impart
In native speech, the sorrows of his heart –
But Afric's outcast meets no kindred hand,
He mourns unsolac'd in a foreign land;
To him the heavens a fearful aspect wear,
Strange are the accents murmur'd in his ear.
He steals no balm from pity's lenient breath;
Hope sheds no gleam, but through the vale of death:
An alien, far from nature's bosom cast,
He broods on wrongs, the present and the past;
And asks what vengeance shall the wretches wait,
Who bade him mourn within the stranger's gate.
Devoted victim of the crimes accurst,
By hatred cherish'd, and by av'rice nurs'd;
Crimes that with Europe's sordid sons began,
The rude barbarian's gift from polished man.
- Extract from The Abolition of the Slave Trade quoted in a letter: "To The Editor Of The Times." Times [London, England] 30 Apr. 1810: 2. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 16 Nov. 2012.

The Slippery-Slope Has Just Gotten Slippier!
Single-Sex Dorms Spark Legal Controversy in D.C
By Patrick G. Lee
Will the sexes stand (and sleep) united or divided in the dorm rooms of the Catholic University of America?
A judge may be called upon to decide that question.
The D.C. university plans to eliminate coed housing for its incoming freshman class, in the hopes that it will help reduce binge drinking and discourage casual hook-ups, university president John Garvey announced in this WSJ opinion piece.
Garvey wrote that he plans to convert the entire campus to single-sex housing over the next few years.
But a legal squabble may be brewing. John Banzhaf, a professor at George Washington University Law School, says he intends to sue Catholic University over the same-sex plan, Inside Higher Ed reports.
Banzhaf told the Law Blog that his argument rests on the District of Columbia's Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in public accommodations, commercial spaces, housing and employment based on any number of factors, including sex, race, religion and marital status. Reinstating single-sex dorms would constitute gender discrimination, Banzhaf maintains.
The only exception allowed under the act is for "business necessities," which means the Catholic University must demonstrate that it can operate the school and remain in business only by instituting a single-sex dorm policy, Banzhaf said. Given that the university has been offering coed housing for decades, it is unlikely the exception will apply in this case, he said.
The university issued a prepared statement in response to a Law Blog request for comment, saying it had not yet received or reviewed any legal documents regarding Banzhaf's intent to sue and that it was "confident that the law does not require men and women be housed together in residence halls."
If the university insists on upholding the new policy, Banzhaf told the Law Blog, he will pursue legal action against both the University and Garvey as an individual.

If you are looking for ways to make your compliance training compelling and interesting, read on! In this article, I show you how you can uplift your compliance training with microlearning and, successfully, meet your mandate.
Compliance training is crucial training for organizations that are mandated to comply with the policies and procedures from Govt or Regulatory bodies. The compliance training requires 100% conformance, and it must be completed a certain number of times during the year.
As a result, opting for an online mode of training to deliver and track compliance training makes tremendous sense. It enables organizations to roll out the training to the entire workforce at the same time, easily track their progress, and timely completion. The online assessments enable them to track the scores easily. Additionally, they can secure employees' attestation on the mandate. All good so far, so where is the catch?
Our compliance practice is now 18 years old and till date, one in six courses on the floor is for a compliance mandate. Over these years, we have seen a few issues with the way compliance trainings are designed, and why they tend to be boring.
I am sure you see the paradox here. While the compliance training is crucial for the organizations, there isn't enough focus on adopting learning strategies that can engage the learners and at the end of the training, they have a clear idea of why they must comply.
The impact of compliance training can increase manifold if the following strategies were adopted to:
We have experimented with a wide spectrum of learning strategies (including microlearning in compliance training) that have helped our customers meet their mandate successfully.
Of late, we see an increase in the usage of microlearning in compliance training. In this article, I show you how you too can use the microlearning-based approach to uplift your compliance training.
As the name suggests, microlearning-based training uses short, bite-sized learning nuggets.
Today, microlearning is being used extensively to address a majority of the corporate training needs, and they are a great fit for:
Microlearning resonates very well with learners on account of the following key benefits:
Microlearning can add value to your compliance training by offering:
The compliance trainings can leverage on the microlearning-based approach in the following 4 ways to create higher impact:
As I had mentioned earlier, our compliance practice is 18 years old, and we have experimented with many techniques including:
Now, I pick 4 examples that I term as NextGen compliance strategies that build on the approaches outlined above and will enable you in successfully meeting your compliance mandate.
This kind of a scenario-based microlearning activity is much suited for compliance trainings like information security, anti-bribery, insider dealing etc.
This approach uses actual stories and experiences of employees who talk about specific aspects or situations they faced and what the impact was.
This approach allows the learners to select their role and then they get access to microlearning nuggets for each topic aligned to that role.
This is a short, gamified microlearning activity.
I hope this article provides ideas on how you can use microlearning to uplift boring compliance training. If you have any queries or need any specific support, do contact me at email@example.com.

I work as a Project Lead at EI Design where I develop the visual design for client projects. My focus is to provide end products as per the client's design and requirement. This puts me in a position where I need to understand core client requirements. I achieve this by communicating efficiently across the different domains that are involved in the project. As a Visual Designer, my focus is to develop eye-catching products that not only capture the imagination of end-users but also enhance their learning capabilities through our innovative technologies.
I begin my day by looking at the immediate tasks and deliverables at hand. My supervising manager overlooks the tasks for the day and assigns them according to individual competencies. I go through emails and prioritize my tasks accordingly. It helps me plan and execute my activities way ahead of delivery deadlines.
We can always be the best in anything we do, provided we are ready to work hard for it.
"The sheer magnitude of the domain and the impact it creates on the learning landscape is impetus enough to innovate and accelerate every day."
My role at EI Design requires me to don multifaceted capabilities, starting from consulting with clients on Instructional Design requirements, strategizing learning approaches and handling presales opportunities as a Solution Architect, managing a domain with diverse skillsets, to innovating and exploring new learning design trends.
Through my journey at EI Design, I have learned to appreciate the value of Learning Innovation, Customer Relationship Management, and the power of Instructional Design in ensuring the required Behavioral Change mandates per end stakeholders. The sheer magnitude of the domain and the impact it creates on the learning landscape is impetus enough to innovate and accelerate every day.
I like to start early and plan my Urgent-Important matrix to begin. The whole day is an artful juggle between a Domain Head and a Solution Architect, with periodic connects with teams and customers. A perfect wrap-up would entail ticking off items in the matrix with tangible outcomes or action plans. Innovation and thought leadership are a constant underlying message in everything I do.
Traveling, social gatherings, music sessions, and uninhibited discussions help rejuvenate and replenish my energy to keep going the extra miles!
The Possibilities are endless if you have the will and determination to seek more, learn more, and achieve more.
"A good workplace tests your ability to be the best, and EI Design has definitely influenced me in that endeavor."
As a part of the Design Strategy Team, I communicate with internal and external stakeholders on the strategy for design and the visual experience aspects. I also contribute to presales stages in creating design strategies and mock-ups that make our products stand out among the rest.
I constantly contribute to Learning and Development at the organizational level (specific trainings on design trends, best practices, knowledge sharing, and so on.) In addition, I guide and ensure that designers follow design briefs, guidelines, and prototypes in various stages of product development.
I receive my work at the beginning of the week and so I begin my day reviewing the previous week's progress and then move on to the tasks allotted to me for the next week. On other days, I just go about my tasks according to the priorities assigned to them.
Apart from this, I coordinate with the Visual Design Team to assist with issues such as design variance, alterations, and clarifications. Most of my day is either spent in brainstorming fresh ideas for new projects or helping other domains carry out the functional aspects of our design strategies.
Always stay committed to work no matter what and aim for the stars.
I work with the Quality Assurance Team at EI Design, co-ordinating with multiple domains (ID, VA, Tech, and VD) to deliver exceptional product experiences for learners. It is my duty to ensure that the developers are equipped with accurate information in order to fix/uplift the product experience. I also bridge the gap between developers/testers and the client to provide clarity on the feedback received from client. In conclusion, I can say that I drive the quality of work generated across domains and monitor the performance of domains, teams, and individuals using Quality Measurement Analysis reports.
My day begins with organizing the activities for the day, checking emails for client responses, and allocating task to my team, depending on the ongoing projects on floor and the deliverables planned. Apart from this, on a regular day, I would receive client calls, conduct meetings, and communicate project requirements with my team and other domains that require my help. At the end of the day, I conduct status checks across all ongoing projects reviewed on the day and assess their progress. This helps me to ensure a high standard in the quality of work generated across all the products at EI Design.
Don't Be the Smartest One in the Room
"Oftentimes, leaders feel that they need to be the "smartest guy or gal" in the room, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Good leaders are the smartest one in the room, great leaders surround themselves with smarter people that will challenge ideas, bring new perspectives to the table and drive innovation."
– – Jacob Hanson, PR with Panache!
As a Senior Business Development Manager at EI Design, my main role is business mining, building new opportunities for our business.
I drive revenue for the business and build relationships with clients to expand our business. I help clients solve monotonous training challenges through engaging approaches and ensure smooth transaction throughout the project lifecycle. I am responsible for generating the customer satisfaction survey for EI Design, where I gather feedback from end-users and convey it to the client. I mentor new employees that join the business development domain and ensure that they are aligned to the business needs along with process training.
During my close to 2 years tenure at EI Design, I have helped achieve the committed revenue for the business and retained various clients. With the constant support of my team, I continue to ensure that our clients' journey through the entire project lifecycle is hassle-free.
Reaching out to clients and presenting the best eLearning solutions is the core of my everyday life at EI Design. I ensure that all customer satisfaction surveys are delivered to clients while also continuing to work on building new business for EI Design. On a monotonous day at office, I ensure to build energy within the team and keep them motivated.
Work till you need no introduction.
I joined EI Design as a Quality Analyst and worked my way up to become an Associate Project Manager. I now help my team plan their daily tasks and provide the necessary guidance to meet project deadlines accordingly.
My role at EI Design involves the delivery of quality products to all our clients and address their concerns and queries through multiple stages of the project life cycle.
A majority of my work deals with managing various project requirements from numerous clients from across the globe. A regular day for me is getting involved in various meetings with team members, and attending client calls. I always ensure that I have a positive approach toward the projects that I handle. The environment around me is reciprocative and the support helps me overcome any obstacles within the project. Even so, it is important that I take crucial decisions at critical moments and ease the pressure off my team and maintain a smooth process flow. Apart from this, we normally take breaks to refresh ourselves and find ways to keep each other motivated.
Every time you come across a challenge you need to face it than avoid it. It will help you grow professionally as well as personally.
As the Project Lead at EI Design, my role involves supporting my team in delivering quality products and managing iterations. I am also responsible for coordinating multiple projects with clients across the globe. I am perpetually involved in supervising and guiding my team through the numerous tasks that come our way. It is my duty to ensure smooth functioning of daily processes and drive my team to deliver quality, while maintaining consistency.
My day at EI Design begins with a stand-up meeting where I assess my team's workload, create a list of deliverables, and distribute tasks to team members accordingly.
It is my top priority to make sure that the team's dependencies are taken care of and that there are no obstacles in project deliverables throughout the day.
Even so, there are times when I too would not be able to resolve an issue. But the speed and enthusiasm with which my team responds to escalations is a quality that I admire.
We normally get into discussions to check the difficulties faced by each member and find solutions to avoid them in future.
If you want to grow you must be ready to learn from anyone, anywhere, anytime.
I never knew my journey at EI design would be so rewarding and fulfilling. I have never felt the curiosity and enthusiasm drop over the time I've spent at EI Design, mainly due to the amazing work culture that we support. My seniors at EI design have always provided me the support and guidance I needed to grow as a professional. Not only have I been surrounded by brilliant professionals – people that I can look up to and take inspiration from – but there have been so many opportunities for me to develop and progress.
I work with EI Design as a Technology Manager and provide innovative technology solutions for our projects. I am also part of the Innovation and Solution Architecting Team, where we explore new tools and technologies in the market and come up with strategies to integrate them into our projects. As part of the Solution Architecting Team, I am constantly involved in providing futuristic solutions to clients. We, at EI Design, believe in pushing the boundaries of learning by making it creative and fun.
I start my day with early morning workouts to make sure that I am physically active and carry the same energy throughout the day. Most of my days begin with meetings to ensure that we are on track with ongoing projects. I detail the information provided in these meeting to concerned team members and keep project deliverables on track.
I admire punctuality and respect my time at work. I ensure that my tasks are done on time, every time, so that other dependencies associated to me do not get affected. This helps me to maintain my work-life balance.

text: balzaccom 24 Posted September 1, 2016 When we first got started backpacking, we simply chose a trailhead that led to a popular destination, and followed the trail to that goal. But over the years we've changed that a bit. We now worry less about a final destination, and more about areas to explore. And we worry less about staying on the trail, so that we can wander off into those areas that don't see so many people. And we almost never stick 100% to our plan, because we know we're going to be curious about what is over that ridge, or beyond the lake. But with all that in mind, we still have a long list of places we'd like to hike. There are quite a few day-hikes that are still on our list, waiting for an open day in our schedule when we're in that area of the mountains. And we have a few short trips that we've been saving for a short weekend, or when we are joined by someone who doesn't want to tackle too ambitious a hike. And then we have the medium-length trips, and the longer trips that we hope to get to some day. We took two of those this summer, one to Kings Canyon and one to Huckleberry Lake in the Emigrant Wilderness. But while we were doing those hikes, we found ourselves noticing a trail here, a lake there, and a whole other section of the valley over there. Reasons to go back, or to add a new hike to the list. Which is why even though we did seven trips this summer, our list keeps getting longer. We've got at least twenty hikes on our list, and that's just in the Sierra...

Sergei Tcherepnin, Ear Tone Box (Pied Piper Disappears), 2013. Microsuede, wood, zinc, silk, transducers, amplifier, iPod. Image courtesy Murray Guy. From a poster by Center for Experimental Lectures.
In January 2014, the artist Sergei Tcherepnin participated in a lecture series organized by the Center for Experimental Lectures at Recess. The evening was dedicated to investigating sound as an artistic material, both material and psychological, and also featured philosopher Christoph Cox. While Cox discussed the idea of sound as a pre-linguistic material, Tcherepnin took the opportunity to discuss an aspect of sound practice that remains largely unheard: queer sound and queer listening.
In this dual performance-lecture, "In Search of Queer Sound," Tcherepnin proposed that sound, and the process of listening, exists beyond pure materiality: listening as a social process, one that is not only natural, but also cultural. He suggested that much like linguistic comprehension, our perception of sound is socially coded.
Six months later, I spoke with Tcherepnin to clarify some of the points made during his lecture, to discuss some of his recent exhibitions, and to understand how the concept of queering sound informs his artistic practice, especially as sound continues to rise as an artistic medium and curatorial model.

Obama is speaking out in the face of criticism over Benghazi, the IRS, and the new healthcare website. In a sometimes contentious interview with Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, he said he tries to focus "not on the fumbles, but on the next plan."
President Barack Obama hit back in a combative Super Bowl Sunday interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, defending his administration's record on everything from health care to Benghazi.
Most pointedly, the president aggressively pushed back at suggestions that he should have fired Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over the botched rollout of Obamacare.
"My main priority right now is making sure that it delivers for the American people," Obama insisted.
President Barack Obama talks after he tours General Electric's Waukesha Gas Engines facility in Waukesha, Wisc., Jan. 30, 2014.
Obama said the initial problems with the government's Healthcare.gov web site have been fixed "and now it's working the way it's supposed to and we've signed up 3 million people ... . We're about a month behind of where we anticipated we wanted to be."
He brushed off questions from O'Reilly on why he hadn't fired Sebelius for the fiasco of the web site's debut.
When O'Reilly complained that "I'm paying Kathleen Sebelius's salary and she screwed up and you're not holding her (Sebelius) accountable," Obama replied, "We hold everybody up and down the line accountable" and added later in a Super Bowl allusion, "I try to focus not on the fumbles, but on the next play."
O'Reilly also grilled the president on how he and his aides handled the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Libya that resulted in the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
O'Reilly pressed Obama on whether Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had told him that the attack was carried out by terrorists, as Gen. Carter Ham of the U.S. Africa Command had informed Panetta.
"What he (Panetta) told was there was an attack on our compound ... . In the heat of the moment, Bill, what folks are focused on is what's happening on the ground, do we have eyes on it, how can we make sure our folks are secure."
This led to several minutes of interruption and crosstalk as Obama and O'Reilly debated whether the administration had misled the American people about the nature of the attack because Obama and his aides didn't want Benghazi to affect the 2012 re-election campaign.
Obama said he had characterized the attack as an act of terror the day after it took place.

President Barack Obama pauses as he discusses unemployment, in the East Room of the White House in Washington, January 31, 2014.
Obama told O'Reilly that "when you look at the videotape of this whole thing unfolding, this is not some systematic, well-organized process ... . You have a mix of folks who are just troublemakers, you have folks who have an ideological agenda, you have some who are affiliated with terrorist organizations, you have some that are not" but the main lesson of the episode is that "our diplomats are serving in some very dangerous places" and need better protection.
Obama also tangled with O'Reilly over the Internal Revenue Service's investigation of conservative political groups that sought non-profit status.
He said the reason that former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman had visited the White House 157 times was that he was discussing with Obama aides the IRS's role in implementing the Affordable Care Act. The agency is responsible for administering tax credits which will go to those who qualify for subsidies to buy insurance.
Obama said Shulman had also been working with White House aides on ways to implement financial reforms to avoid taxpayer bailouts of corporations.
He added that while "bone-headed decisions" were made in the IRS probes of non-profit groups, there was "not even a smidgen of corruption."
Of the controversy, Obama said, " ... These kinds of things keep on surfacing, in part because you and your TV station will promote them."
As for Super Bowl, Obama deftly sidestepped giving a prediction about the winner. The two opposing teams are "too evenly matched," he said.
He predicted a final score of 24 to 21, but said "I don't know who's going to be 24 and I don't know who's going to be 21."

Blacklisting, Whitelisting and the Way Forward: Comments on the Schneier-Ranum Face-Off
In this 60-Second Window, I step aside for George Tubin, Trusteer's Senior Security Strategist on the matter of how we face the looming storm of cyber security and the coming spector of cyber war. Nobody wants it, but there seems to be an ever increasing debate over how to avoid it. These figures figure heavily into the debate, and the future of our digital infrastructure. March 27, 2013

Good placing MadameO - have to wag my finger gently at the earphones though, one of my pet hates in races. Sympathy on the spider front. It's bound to have left the room via a small crack around the window so you won't see it when you open the door
What: short, easy swim.
Why: mini-taper.
Last hard: managing the in-laws prior to our holiday (yep, they're with us all week)>
Last rest: I shall need one when I get back from holiday I think.
Lyrics - no.
good stuff MadameO.
What: 2.35 miles streak saver done
Why: it's all I could face
Last hard: all of yesterday
Last rest: 6 April
We went to our local theatre last night for the monthly comedy night. Guest star was Reginald D Hunter. Interesting set he did. Thought provoking and not entirely what I would call a stand up comedy set. Funny in places. Uncomfortable in places. There was another one who was excellent - Doc Brown. Very funny.
So a second night out in a week, with more alcohol. I really must stop this. Today's run was therefore very hard but very much faster than usual.
Today I have one meeting at work. And the sadist who booked it deserves to be shot. 3pm to 5pm on a Friday afternoon. Bah. Add that to the fact that I've basically been told that when we are reorganised I will be demoted. Pay protection blah blah blah but quite clearly no longer a senior person. My whole department is currently made up of people looking for new jobs.
Enjoy your crunchie.
Thanks for all your wishes the sedation was good only remember part of it then got pampered went back to the home of my escorts i slept on the couch had some soft food later came home in the evening. But won't run today as precaution however i do have a massage booked
However i won't be up to a Crunchie
Madame O Great picture
Mava -Sorry to hear that
Morning folks.
Gobi - sounds very positive on the swimming front!
Nice placing MO. Was it a pb?
Gobi / mava - they're constantly reorganising here at the moment and making redundancies each time. Not a particularly nice time to be working here tbh, but I've been here too long to walk away for something else without getting made redundant!
What: legs stiff so had a lie-in am / pm - most likely a (current) MP run (with 8-10m of effort, possibly split in two).
Why: Friday is all about the MP run and for the next few weeks I have the flexibility to put it either am or pm as I adjust back to proper training. Will run easy and stick it in tomorrow's long run instead if still stiff later though.
Last effort: Wednesday.
Last rest: Sunday.
Lyrics: yep. Great tune.
Have a good day all.
Morning all
Rest day here - looks like i've timed it good with the weather.
Madame - Next race imagine the spider is behind you!!
Best of luck to the racers.
Thought - During my recent 10 mile race in the last 1/4 of a mile a fella in front of me collapsed, couldnt stand, even though he seemed "compus mentus". He tried several times to get up but just kept collapsing on the ground. Has this ever happened any of you on here? - interesting, if a bit disturbing to see, i can only imagine what it must feel like - does it come on suddenly or gradually - i wasnt expecting to see this in a 10 mile race.
LMH - I've had Mother In Law for last 5 weeks - running going great.
What: Up early, 5.1 mile bike to work and 1600m frontcrawl. Will run at lunchtime (5-6 @ MP) and cycle home this evening.
Why: Bike/Swim - burn calories. Run - quality day.
Last hard: Tuesday's 6.2 mile with 4 @ HMP.
Last rest: Saturday
Lyrics: No
What: 9 miles of hill training
Why: Training for Cardiff Half Marathon. Going for sub 1hr 40mins.
Last Hard: Sunday 10k
Last Rest: Last Thursday!!
hello & happy Friday
mava - sorry about the works issue, as Gobi says I don't think its unique to you.
I'd like to see Reginald D Hunter, find him quite funny, although I wouldn't feel too beat up about nights out + alcohol. Life's for living right?
MadameO - well done with the half, but I too side with LMH on the ear attachments , tut tut, training yes, racing no. I believe there is a thread somewhere on said issue !!
Good luck to those surviving in-law visits and good luck to chomski for the sub 100
What - couple of easy miles
Why - mashed muscles, LSR tomorrow early doors
Last hard - yesterday
Last rest - Saturday
Enjoy the crunchies, and have a groovy weekend
I was side-shifted and fell off the edge of the cliff.
Not been around for a while, not training, and having a major re-think about life.
be back when I've sorted myself out; or maybe not.
Have a good one!
Hey AF, hope you get it sorted.
I would be quite pleased to be offered redundancy. I've been on a contract here for 15+ years so would get a decent pay off. Unfortunately there will be no compulsory redundancies and they've set things up in such a way that if you don't take what you're offered that's your problem not theirs. I have joined a union for the first time since I was in the Students' Union.
Dr.Dan wrote (see)
 ee up Chomski!  .......I see my young cousin is emmigraing to the big smoke. Good luck with the 1:40 !!!
Cheers Dan.
She's moving down on Thursday. We both turn 40 in the next two weeks so it's pretty much parties all round!
Well, I have 10 days of annual leave to play with... I suppose I should start it with some cleaning *looks guiltily around flat*
Recover well and enjoy the massage Pammie.
Sorry to hear that Mava (and also Gobi and TT - not nice to have that sort of crap going on at work).
Ah yes, the old ipod debate - I must admit it's never bothered me before, but this year with my new-found racing mojo I've started feeling bad about it. I don't think I'm quite ready to do away with it in Amsterdam, but it may be my new year's resolution! One change at a time TT - yes it was a PB, 1:42:53... still a minute slower than my nemesis though.
Good luck with the in-laws LMUH and Paddy. Re the spider, I did actually pass one when I was out running the other week. Most odd as you don't usually see the little buggers out on the street - they're usually too busy plotting world domination in a corner somewhere. Not sure what pace it was doing though.
Have never collapsed during a race fortunately, but at mile 23 of Abingdon a few years back I had to stop and walk for a bit because I thought I was simultaneously going to throw up, pass out and shit myself. Hope the guy was ok.
Have a great weekend M, and a good long run tomorrow.
Hello Chomski, and good luck with the half!
AF, wishing you well in sorting yourself out, and really hope you'll come back. In the meantime, have you killed Peter Rainbow?
What: 11 miles slow
Why: Midweek long run that I've had to shift.
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Monday
Lyrics: I think so.
HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!
Hi all you guys!!
Mava hope job stuff goes ok
pammie hope you are ok?
Like af, really not been training much, achilles is now sorted because of that although the right has started to twinge a bit now which is maddening!!
Did Inca Trail in August, my daughter seems to be glued to Peru, she should be in NZ now but cannot leave Peru!
Hope everyone is doing ok, nice to pop in and see some familiar faces.
WHat: rest
why: tri on sunday
last hard: weds 5k race
last easy thursday
I will be attempting to swim the whole 400 front crawl, not a biggy for some but it is for me, wibble!
Have a lovely weekend all
Morning all
What: yoga
Why: it's yoga day
Lyrics: yes yes yes!
Pammie: glad you survived the dentist ordeal
AF: good luck with sorting life out, hope everything goes ok
Have a good day.
Apologies for my previous post lay out !
Wabo: Nice to have you back.
Nice to have you back Wabo.
AF - don't be gone too long and as for thinking - don't do too much, it's over rated you know!
M - dish the goss - but not whilst I'm internet-less in the wilds of Norfolk
Five weeks Paddy? That deserves an award.
Hello Chomski.
MadameO - surely a big city marathon with lots of support would be the ideal place to ditch the i-pod?
LMH - Yeah - Five weeks. She's awaiting the call to go in for an operation. She's not that bad really - doesnt say a whole lot but hogs the TV - not that i get much chance to watch it though.
AF - Look after yourself - Try and get back on the Horse!!!!!!!!
Hello Wabo, nice to see you
LMUH, that is true but I really struggle with anxiety at the best of times (not just races but life in general)and I think any deviations from my normal marathon routine might be a bit much to cope with this time. Got some XCs coming up soon after though so will be ditching it then!
Paddy, hope the MIL's op goes well and that she doesn't have to wait too long.
Well I lasted till 4.20 on Friday with no cake, biscuits etc or alcohol feeling quiet proud of myself!
Paddy I'll try not to overdo it over the weekend. Hopefully as it'll feel like a treat, I'll eat less than usual anyway!
What work
Why same as yesterday
Lyrics yes
LMUH I have absoloutley no idea if its piri whatsits as I'm relatively clueless on these things. The pain is slowley recinding and was able to produce a light jog when I realised how late I was picking the mini PP's up from school. Will have to run tomorrow as I have left my bike at work on purpose.
postie - the piriformis will give you a right pain in the bum, sometimes confused with sciatic pain as it can radiate from top of the buttock down into the glute. If it is this there are some good (but difficult to explain) stretches that help - I'd advise a google.
Well done emzap.
hey Wabo, good to see you.

On December 1st, we embarked on a new activity at our house, the Advent Calendar.
It's been a fun 3+ weeks with lots of crafting and doing and going and seeing. Overall, the calendar/wreath has been well received. The kids really looked forward to opening the box each day. Some days they were a bit disappointed by the the contents of the box and other days they were thrilled. I do have it on good authority, though, that this should become a regular tradition!
By far, the activity they enjoyed the most was yesterday's "scavenger hunt". On Tuesday evening, after the children were snug in their beds, I removed the calendar/wreath from it's place of honor and hid it. In it's place was a clue that led to another clue and so on. They found clues in stockings, in the oven, in the freezer, on a bed, etc, etc until it led them to my car where the calendar/wreath was safe and sound in the back seat.
When the box was opened it contained one last clue that let them to early Christmas presents! The calendar/wreath really kept me on my toes and I'm savoring the memories it has made. I'm already thinking about next year's activities and hunt!
One Christmas tradition, however, has been pushed aside and given "well, maybe next year" status – the sending of the yearly Christmas cards. Last year, I kept putting it off until I decided to skip it all together. This year, the cost of cards and postage was prohibitive yet I didn't want to go another year without sending a Christmas greeting to friends and family.
Being the "environmentally friendly" family that we strive to be, we* decided to save paper and do something a bit different this year. You can view our virtual Christmas card on Whrrl! We hope you enjoy it.
Merry Christmas!
*And by "we", I mean, "I"!

Singer-guitarist Steve Dawson and singer-guitarist Diane Christiansen front the Chicago band Dolly Varden. This husband and wife team was also the driving force behind Stump The Host, and has been responsible for a lot of interesting indie rock music.
Dawson has recently released his latest solo effort, titled I Will Miss The Trumpets And The Drums, and has shows coming up on April 25th at SPACE in Evanston; April 30th and May 1st at Off Broadway in St. Louis, MO; and on May 16th at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
Here's a review of the 2007 Dolly Varden CD, The Panic Bell. Note: This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer.
Dolly Varden returns after a three year absence with husband and wife Steve Dawson and Diane Christiansen still at the helm. That's good news for fans of the duo's distinctive harmonizing and well-crafted Americana music. The Panic Bell shows the Chicago-based band breaking some new ground musically behind singer-guitarist Dawson's compelling lyrics.
On "Your Last Mistake," he attacks political leaders, singing, "The world is run by finks and clowns/Who slither underground like snakes." "Triumph Mine, Idaho" takes on industrial pollution, while "It's All Gonna Change" and "The Truth Is Told" reflect on more personal relationships. Singer-guitarist Christiansen shines on her composition, the stark ballad, "Small Pockets." Dolly Varden also succeeds with the catchy rocker, "Everything."

It's been years since Harry Potter's story came to a close and J.K. Rowling's first non-Potterverse novel comes out next week. But perhaps if she decides to someday return to the world of Hogwarts, she could be persuaded to expand the story of Harry's parents, James and Lily, and James' fellow shapeshifting Marauders.
Viktoria Ridzel, a.k.a. viria13, draws some extremely lovely Harry Potter fanart (as well as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Doctor Who art), but she has a particular interest in creating scenes with the Marauders: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. She does a nice job developing the tone and personalities Rowling set up in the book, including an overeager Wormtail. She's also charted out concept designs for James and Lily's other classmates (plus Molly and Arthur, who were at Hogwarts at a different time). She even invents a love interest for Sirius: Roxanne Malfoy, older sister to Lucius. Apparently, she thought Sirius wasn't getting enough makeouts.
So what say you, Ms. Rowling? Might this inspire a few tales of the Marauders?

This is Intel's latest enthusiast level chipset that will be replacing their X58 chipset. Before we start taking a look at this particular board from Gigabyte let's first go over some of the features that this new chipset has to offer.
Right from the start you can tell that this is something special. There are ram slots now on either side of the board that gives you the ability to install up to a whopping 64 gigs of DDR3 memory. This will allow for some really heavy video and graphical rendering power and it will also allow for speeds up to 2400 MHz with overclocking. It also brings a new memory architecture to the table called quad channel. This is supposed to produce better addressing capabilities for the processor. We'll have to see if this is actually the case when we run our benchmarks. One downside to this new layout is that some CPU heat sinks may have clearance issues with taller ram sticks.
Another feature that this new chipset brings is that it supports Intel's new 2011 socket processors. For a full review of these processors I highly recommend that you read the review by our editor Elric Phares to get a better understanding of how amazing these new processors are. These essentially are the new enthusiast line of processors that will be replacing the 990x. We were supplied a 3960x for our review and these processors produced some of the highest scores we've ever seen for a consumer level processor. Before these babies came out you'd have to get a Xeon to get this level of performance. In other words this consumer level processor produces server level performance.
Intel has also incorporated their Platform Controller Hub technology into this new chipset. This isn't an entirely new feature but it does set this chipset apart from the competition. AMD still requires a North Bridge and a South Bridge on their motherboards. Intel is continuing to use a single chip to run communications between the processor and the various interfaces. In this way Intel has been able to reduce the overall heat and power requirements for their motherboards. This new chipset also supports up to 40 PCI express 2.0 lanes for graphical expansion cards as well as an additional 8 lanes for PCI express 3.0. This gives Intel the advantage when it comes to being ready for the next generation of video cards that we hopefully will get to see shortly after the first of the year.

A short video teaser for "L'Enfant Sauvage", the forthcoming fifth album from French progressive metallers GOJIRA, can be seen below.
Due on June 26 via Roadrunner Records, "L'Enfant Sauvage" (which translates to "The Wild Child") features 11 tracks of mind-bending, thunderous metal. The CD was recorded at Spin Recording Studios in Long Island City, New York with co-producer Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD).
In a recent interview with Metalshrine, GOJIRA guitarist/vocalist Joseph Duplantier stated about the new album title, "We couldn't call it 'The Wild Child', because it's hard to translate 'L'Enfant Sauvage'. It's not really the wild child as understood in English, because a wild child for me, has an aspect like someone out of control somehow. 'L'Enfant Sauvage' in French… 'Sauvage' is something that is not educated or something that is like free and completely free in nature. A wild flower that goes wherever she wants and becomes something beautiful. The idea with 'L'Enfant Sauvage' is like with a human that would grow up in nature, raised by wolves, for example, without the influence from others and the influence from institutions or society in general. Without a social security number. [laughs] Not even a name. This is what you are and I am on the inside, right? How much the education and the culture, emotions and the guilt are interacting with us and it changes us and how far are we from this pure child inside? That's the question we had on this album."
A special collector's package of "L'Enfant Sauvage" will feature two bonus tracks and a double-colored vinyl version of the record, along with an exclusive t-shirt.
"L'Enfant Sauvage" track listing:
01. Explosia
02. L'Enfant Sauvage
03. The Axe
04. Liquid Fire
05. The Wild Healer
06. Planned Obsolescence
07. Mouth Of Kala
08. The Gift Of Guilt
09. Pain Is A Master
10. Born In Winter
11. The Fall
GOJIRA will release a new DVD/Blu-ray, "The Flesh Alive", in Europe on June 4 and in the U.S. on July 31 via Mascot. The set will be made available in the following formats:
* Blu-ray+CD with free poster
The three-disc "The Flesh Alive" chronicles the making of GOJIRA's 2008 album, "The Way Of All Flesh", and the touring activity that followed the CD's release.

Jessica Sanchez Doesn't 'Turn the Beat Around' on 'American Idol'
Mini diva Jessica Sanchez was born in 1995, so she chose 'Turn the Beat Around' by Gloria Estefan on tonight's episode of 'American Idol,' where the hopefuls were allowed to perform a song from the year in which they were born. Sanchez is 16-years-young, but she sings like a seasoned diva with years of experience under her belt.
Tonight, J San – sorry, we had to give her a cool, abbreviated name, like any diva of her stature deserves — glittered on stage. Literally. Or "glitterally!" She wore a pair of fashion-forward, high-waisted, silver-sequined pants which had J. Lo and Steven Tyler drooling. She paired 'em with a white sleeveless top and belt, while her hair was blown sleek and straight. While Sanchez looked like a polished and put together adult, she strayed from what she does best: the big ballad. It was a risk to go uptempo and sing something beat-driven, so she struggled to keep up with the syncopation. The song wasn't right for her "big old voice," as Randy Jackson said.
Even so, it was a nice touch when would spin around when singing the title lyrics.
Sanchez didn't turn the diva antics on until the end of the song, where she presented herself like a raspier Beyonce. That was when the Jessica we know and love showed up. Post-performance, she admitted that there wasn't much to choose from when it came to the 1995 song list.

Fairfield Mennonite Church (Fairfield, Pennsylvania, USA)
Fairfield Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), located in Adams County, Pennsylvania, was formed in 1925 by a schism in the Mummasburg Mennonite Church (MC) congregation at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, because of the question of insurance. Those carrying insurance, contrary to the regulations of the Lancaster Conference, to which the congregation belonged, organized the Fairfield Church with A. W. Geigley as pastor, and with 40 charter members. In 1955 it had 68 members, with Lamont Woelk serving as pastor. The congregation remained independent until 1941, when it joined the Eastern District Conference and the General Conference Mennonite Church.
In 2008 the membership was 48; the minister was Brenda Walter.
